Today is Halloween which is weird for me because by this time of the year its normally halloweenish, cold, dark out, cosy in, nice cosy clothes etc but its 28 / 30 degrees today and crazy bright and sunny.

To think this time last year I was dressed for success as a sanitary towel ( handmade of course) makes me miss home.

Today was such a beautiful lovely day, got myself some more silk screens, white spray, more exercise books all in preparation for the Soho festivities.

So much to do and I don't know what to prioritise, my friends are coming to visit to right after and I need to vaguely prepare for that and I just realised my UK flight is only a month away now (time really flies) so we need to decide asap about what we are doing.

I got invited to sell at the Soho Wine & Dine Festival (they will be an arts and crafts part to the festival) which I think is an annual event here in Hong Kong, I'm not sure what it will be like as I've never been or heard about it but I've been told the whole event is expecting over 100,000 so needless to say I am *a little bit* nervous.

Because I've never ever sold at any event anywhere near to this size, I just don't know what to expect and how much more I should make and take, I mean how many people is 100,000 anyway, it sounds like millions to me!

There is also going to be press packs and other fancy sounding things like that going to print about it all and I've sent some photos to be included, if any of my photos get chosen, it will be my very first piece of 'proper' (none internet) press so that alone is pretty exciting !

Browsing through random stores in Bigcartel and discovered this beauty, I could stare at this for ages, the detail is captivating like she is hypnotic. Hmmmm to one day have a big home to buy art...hmmmm

Woke up to check my facebook (as you do) and saw one of my character dolls on my 'news feed' because Spoonflower made a little mention of it on their fan page which was nice to see first thing in my morning.

I've also ordered more fabric with a new character called Raleigh and new and improved versions of older designs Tracey and Sammy the fairy. (Tracey and Raleigh are non identitcal twins)
